My uncle runs a farm/vineyard in the yarra valley where we often go for a weekend away...

this week theyre filming a portion of Charlottes Web there... for 30 seconds of film it takes 1 week to shoot :D something like 120 people... 4 semi trailors and a lot of vans.

theyre bringing magpies and sheep (their farm is a cattle farm as well as a vineyard) to use in the shots which will only be for 30 seconds of film time :D

they have to cut some branches down (well get my uncle to) to get the trailors in and they said that for every branch he has to cut for them to get through theywill give him a slab ;)

There will also be a 24 hour food caravan open to everyone to eat so if he gets hungry they said to come up and have a feed.

None of the stars will be there or anything cause its mainly a scenery shoot as well as a "chase scene" and the lead up to the farm down the driveway which will look pretty much.... like this

This was taken from a spot near a dam where they will be filming...

lol yeah not just finger food either... full catering staff

Yuck Fou. Oh ni you know you got a mention in Speed mag "Not to be outdone, D1NZ driver Jarius Whareau drove the RB26-powered Cefiro of Nikora Terrill with some aplomb." Mr lar de dar. To bad you havent got it any more would make a good shot in a scene like that. The only thing you'll be shooting though is the sau guys trying to get onto the set for some of that free food and BEER!. :usuck: :headshot:

lol yeah wont post up the location for obvious reasons... yeah i have that speed mag :P i was going to take the car there for a shoot but its too far away to drive with no rego.

when i get another car i'll organise a cruise up there... but hen the actuall hotel and stuff are built and they have wine tasting on... its awesome up there... love going out there and staying over (even when i get put thru a barbed wire fence on a motorbike.)

    • Well it wasn't as easy as I thought.... and it also wasn't in my original manual which I did end up finding. They discuss the process in the Nismo catalogue though and it requires slight machining. Page 145.  NISMO PARTS CATALOGUE 2020
    • I'm an idiot, my intercooler is rated for 1000hp. I had clicked on the wrong product. Knowing the delta P would be nice, but I'm doubtful I'll do it. Now as for an EMAP, that would be great and I'll get around to it eventually but from my findings in my last post, I'm considering a turbo swap now. 
    • You sir, big win tonight. Precision never supplied compressor maps in the past and Idk when they started, but it seems they only offer for a few of the older gen2's which is exactly what I have. I punched in some numbers and seem to have gone with the wrong turbo. 600-700whp isn't in the most efficient area and is close to the choke line. 800whp is well off the map. Punching the numbers into a 68mm gen2 turbo map is bang on in the center. Here I was thinking going smaller would shift the power band down, but in reality it would just make it so much worst due to my rev limit. I would have never thought. 
    • Increasing overlap will bring the torque down earlier (and make your idle sound sick lol). Worth a shot (if you dyno time) to experience a bit (providing you are confident your valves won't kiss your pistons). Is to just take off 5 degrees across the boosted area of the map, and then retard the exhaust cam let's say, 3 degrees at a time and then overlay all the runs with VCT on all the way and VCT off as soon as you make positive pressure. Ideally you would have a total of 6x overlays to looks at 0 exhaust & VCT off once manifold pressure is +ve 0 exhaust & VCT on all the way -5 exhaust & VCT off once manifold pressure is +ve -5 exhaust & VCT on all the way -10 exhaust & VCT off once manifold pressure is +ve -10 exhaust & VCT on all the way Just leave your O2 wideband closed loop on for all of the boost area & RPM, and hopefully there isn't too much fuel correction needed and the Haltech is fast enough to compensate (I do this, then apply the correction to the main table). Getting that overlay data should give you a good indication of what to aim for.
    • So, my main limitation here is that the car does not have an oil pressure sensor by default, just a switch. As part of my tune I bought an oil pressure sensor upgrade so I now have access to oil pressure levels and logging rather than just the boolean behaviour of the switch but this means I need to use the tuning app to display this value. So, this rules out using any other app on the iPad. The app will also flash when pressure drops which is a nice feature. I have replaced the centre screen with an Android one, which is awesome for Android Auto, but I think it might be too far away and out of my line of sight. I might add some gauges to it this weekend and just see. I guess if its just temp and oil pressure I can make them massive! 🤣
